Shinty is Scotlands indigenous
sport and Newtonmore is one of the most famous clubs in
shinty. In 2016 our
1st team won the Premier Division Championship for the
seventh year in a row and also won the Camanachd Cup, the
Mactavish Cup and the Sir Tommy Macpherson Memorial trophy.
Our 2nd team won North Division 1 and retained the
Sutherland Cup for the first time since 1928. 1959 was the
last time that the club won the Camanachd Cup and the
Sutherland Cup in the same year.

The
purpose of this website is to keep locals in the Dalwinnie,
Laggan and Newtonmore areas up to date with what is going on
in the club. To allow exiles to stay informed about
who is who, what is going on and how we are doing. To
give visitors, who may never have heard of shinty, the
opportunity to find out something about it and to watch it
being played.

We welcome visitors
at our matches, encourage you to ask to speak to one of the
committee and look forward to explaining the game to you to
increase your enjoyment.

Shinty in villages like Newtonmore
is an integral part of the local culture. For visitors
and locals alike ....... be part of it.
